Short Length of 2 1/8" OD Exhaust Pipe
Turbo Mini Forums

Just need a short length of 2 1/8" or 54mm OD, 2" ID exhaust pipe to join a large bore LCB to a 2" downpipe. Mild or stainless will do.

If nobody has any, I'll get a long length from Merlin and keep it stock for TM members.

I might have a bit,

I'll check the size tonight.

actually scrub that,

the bit I have is 2.5" I just remembered i had to buy mild steel convertors to do mine.

When I needed to do this I went to my local rude boy monstrosity exhaust centre. They have some of those pipe stretching gadgets that work with a windy gun, and so they stretched a short length about 6" of 2"OD stainless to make it 2" ID to use as a connector. Cost me £5 I think.

My solution was similar - when I bought all the stainless tubing, the company also could expand it out, they called it end forming.... so I had all the excess lengths "end formed" to 2" ID and cut them off to make the sleeves.

Just been using them this afternoon, see my build thread !

As Tom says, a "good" exhaust place should have the expanding tool.

They are not, but does that really matter, unless you are looking for conrourse condition,

might have some at work. i'll get the tape measure out tomorrow!

I think people are missing the point of that coupling. It will slacken off with two nuts and the linkpipe will slide out with no effort at all, no hammering now swinging on the silencer to breakit free

You've sold it to me.

It's the best solution I've seen so far.
